After finishing off the Detroit Red Wings in five games, the Boston Bruins will have a few days to regroup before facing the Montreal Canadiens in the second round, as their series can’t begin till every other series concludes. Every other series will require at least one more game to resolve, and TD Garden will be undergoing preparations for Northeastern University’s commencement ceremony on Thursday, so the Bruins are likely looking at Friday or Saturday for Game 1.

Montreal won the season series, 3-1, though the last of those wins came in a shootout. Here’s a look back at how the regular-season series played out:

Dec. 5, 2013, in Montreal: Canadiens win 2-1. Carey Price stopped 33 of 34 shots as Montreal moved into first place in the Atlantic Division. Gregory Campbell scored the Bruins’ only goal, and the Habs’ goals came from Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty.

Bruins coach Claude Julien had some strong words for his team after the game, in which they led 1-0 after the first period and outshot Montreal 34-27. Both Canadiens goals came in the second period, during which they outshot the Bruins 18-7.

“I think the second period was atrocious and even embarrassing,” Julien said. “If you look at the way we played in the first and third, the way we played in the second is not acceptable, not for our team. It cost us the game.”

Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk was also injured on a check from Pacioretty in that game, although he returned to action five days later.

Jan. 30, 2014, in Boston: Canadiens win 4-1. Montreal picked up its fifth straight win over the Bruins dating back to last year, this time with backup goalie Peter Budaj in net. Tuukka Rask was pulled halfway through the second period after giving up three goals on 18 shots, while Budaj stopped 34 of 35.

After the game, alternate captain Patrice Bergeron said the Bruins were far from pleased with that performance.

“I would say from what I remember, the worst game of the year,” Bergeron said. “And you can't have success if you're playing like that.”

Dougie Hamilton scored the Bruins’ only goal.

March 12, 2014, in Montreal: Bruins win 4-1. Tuukka Rask was much better than in his last appearance against the Habs, this time stopping 35 of 36 shots to earn just his third career win against Montreal in 15 starts.

David Desharnais scored Montreal’s only goal as they lost their third game in a row, fourth in a five-game stretch. The Bruins got goals from Milan Lucic, Carl Soderberg, Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara. The win marked the halfway point of what would become the Bruins’ 12-game winning streak, which Montreal would technically end on March 24 (though Boston didn’t lose in regulation again until April 2).

“It's always a challenge, and especially against a team that's had our number the way that they had this year and three out of four times last year," said Lucic after the game. “We had to get that out of the back of our mind and focus on what we need to do to be successful, and that's what helped us get ready for this game.”

March 25, 2014, in Boston: Canadiens win 2-1 in a shootout. The Bruins outshot the Canadiens, 29-22, but needed a late goal from Patrice Bergeron to send the game to overtime. Montreal had been playing with a 1-0 lead since Emelin’s goal 6:39 into the first. Alex Galchenyuk scored the deciding shootout goal.

The game saw 12 minor penalties called, as well as a fight between Kevan Miller and Travis Moen. Milan Lucic took exception to one he thought should have been called when Emelin hit him low in the first period, spearing Emelin from behind later in the game and calling him a chicken after the game.

Both goals in regulation came on the power play, and after the Bruins made their own lives harder with seven penalties in the first 40 minutes of play, Montreal let them back into the game with four straight minors in the third.

Julien noted that the Bruins' indiscretions hurt them, though they didn't necessarily cost them the game.

"The Marchand penalty was frustration because he got tripped on the face-off before," Julien said. "It wasn't called, but those are things that are going to happen in a game, and you can't retaliate by taking a bad penalty. Boychuk's penalty was a bad one (too). They didn't score on those, so that's not why we lost. But I think we have to be better disciplined against them."

Of note: The Bruins have actually only seen starter Carey Price once in four games this year, with Budaj starting the other three games. They’re no strangers to Price, of course – he’s made 29 regular-season starts against the Bruins in his career, with a .919 save percentage.

The Bruins have outshot Montreal this year, 129-118, but been outscored 8-7 (not counting shootout goals). Rask's start against them on Jan. 30 was one of four times when he was pulled this year, and it was tied for his second-worst save percentage in any start this year.
